Wanderer 6/30 hp, Type W 10/IV convertible, 1931

In mid-1929, the Wanderer factory gave up production of its 4-cylinder models in favour of the new 6-cylinder Type W 11. This single-model policy was intended to make car production as a whole more profitable. However, the crash on the New York Stock Exchange in October 1929 and the subsequent global economic crisis caused sales of large cars to collapse. Within a very short time, a new 30 hp 4-cylinder model had been developed that was launched in September 1930.

Engine: 4-cylinder in line
Displacement: 1,563 cc
Power: 30 hp at 3,400 rpm
Maximum speed: 85 km/h
Fuel consumption: 10 litres/100 km
Series: 1930-1932
Production: 4,500 cars
